Trades

Trade #1
To Detroit: 2014 1st Round Pick
To Los Angeles: M.Samuelsson (3.5)/C. Crombeen (3.0)/
G. Fournier (2.5)

Thought Process: It was a 1st rounder for a 2 AHL players and a noob prospect. Steal for Me.

Trade #2To Detroit: Boone Jenner (4.0)
To Columbus: Mikhael Grabovski (4.0)

Thought Process: Mikhael Grabovski was beyond amazing in last year's playoffs, but he dropped from a 82 ovr to an 80 ovr. At his 5.5 Million contract for 4 more years, He just isnt worth it. at 65-75 points per season maybe, but 80 ovr won't do that. Not worth it. Swapping him for a 4 star prospect is more positive than negative.
Trade #3

To Detroit: 2014 4th and 7th Round Picks.
To Ottawa: Jonas Gustavsson (3.5)

Thought Process: 3rd round pick for a backup goaltender? Steal. I can just pick up another in free agency for cheap. It's basically a free 3rd and 7thTrade #4

To Detroit: 2014 4th Round Pick
To Anaheim: Jess Tanguay (2.5)

Though Process: More Picks, Less noob prospects that the CPU auto signs in the system.Trade #5

To Detroit: 2014 3rd Round Pick
To Winnipeg: Jordin Tootoo (3)

3rd Rounder (Potentially a 3.5 player) for a 4th liner, replaceable in Free Agency. Detroit 1. Winnipeg 0.
